The length was 8 ft. more than twice the width. If the perimeter was 136ft.
\n" ); document.write( " find the dimensions.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Not sure of what you have done here, but this is the way I would do it:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 136
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"The length was 8 ft. more than twice the width.\", therefore
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2W + 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the perimeter equation, replace L with (2W+8)
\n" ); document.write( "2(2W+8) + 2W = 136
\n" ); document.write( "4W + 16 + 2W = 136
\n" ); document.write( "4W + 2W = 136 - 16
\n" ); document.write( "6W = 120
\n" ); document.write( "W = 120/6
\n" ); document.write( "W = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Find L
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2(20) + 8
\n" ); document.write( "L = 48
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the perimeter equation \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
